I love holidays for a dozen reasons and one of them is getting to dress everyone up; I live for picking out coordinating outfits. When I'm styling our family I'm always looking to keep it affordable so my first stop are our closets for things we already own. Then I start hitting the stores based on what I find or don't find at home. I usually am looking for an inspiration piece and then I work from there.
For Easter we have two days of celebrations so I have to style two family outfits but you won't find me complaining at all! Day 1 is definitely more casual and this year I found the girls rompers early on and those were my starting point. I found Jack's button up onesie to coordinate because I didn't want him in all blush pink. His onesie was perfect because it was the piece to tie us all together. A piece or two that brings us together is usually my goal. I also don't love matchy-matchy but rather coordinating. Sometimes the girls will match but I don't want all of us to be too similar. Back to keeping things reasonable I accessorize with what we already own. I almost never buy new bows, shoes or jewelry/purses when styling the whole family for an event/holiday. This keeps the cost down and also the amount of time I'm looking for everything.
For Easter Sunday we get dressed up and I went with a color palette that isn't traditional for Easter but if you know me you know I'm still obsessed with check/gingham/buffalo plaid. Emily's two piece set was my inspiration and the rest came together easily. A rule of thumb for me when using neutral colors, like black and white is to throw in a pop of color to make a splash. I also like to mix patterns; like polka dots, stripes and gingham for Easter Sunday and stripes, solids and gingham for Saturday.

To see everything else from our Easter Celebrations continue on! We had such a fun and blessed Easter and I hope you did as well.
Day 1 of Easter was spent at my Mother-in-Laws house where we had "Linner," hunted eggs, played games and enjoyed each other's company. It was such a relaxing and fun day.
Day 2 was ultra relaxing with just Mass and hanging out at home. It was exactly what we needed this year.
